Legends aren’t replaced, they’re refined. The M7 Mantra builds on everything skiers loved about its predecessor and pushes the envelope with sharper adaptability, smoother power delivery, and a broader performance range across changing terrain.
At the heart of its transformation is 4 Radius Drive, a multi-geometry sidecut that lets the ski shift personalities mid-run. It can carve a clean, committed arc on hardpack, then open up into longer, composed turns when speed builds. The transition feels seamless, never locked in, never unpredictable.
Stability comes from the Tailored Titanal Frame, precisely scaled to each ski length. Longer skis carry more metal for added damping and high-speed authority, while shorter lengths reduce titanal content for quicker response and agility. The result is a ski that feels proportionate and balanced, no matter the size underfoot.
Up front, Tailored Carbon Tips are embroidered along exact stress lines, fine-tuning torsional stiffness and sharpening tip engagement. Turn initiation feels immediate and controlled, with energy building smoothly through the arc. Beneath it all, the Multilayer Woodcore blends dense hardwood along the sidewalls with lighter wood through the center for powerful edge hold and dynamic rebound.
Whether you’re laying trenches on groomers or navigating soft, variable snow off-piste, the M7 Mantra delivers composure without dulling the fun.
Rocker only in the shovel and tail, with camber in the middle.
Four radii placed where they work best: about 20m in the shovel for quick turn starts, about 40m ahead of the binding for stability, about 15m underfoot for agility and about 25m behind the binding.
Beech and poplar, with hardwood in the binding area and lighter wood around it.
Carbon fibers embroidered along the stress lines in the tips.
Direct, strong power transmission with full length sidewalls.
A sintered high-density base with great glide and durability.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.
